The Security Assessment Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in Ireland that need to establish systematic approaches to evaluating their security posture. It is particularly crucial in the current landscape of increasing cyber threats and stringent regulatory requirements, including Irish data protection laws and EU regulations. The policy provides comprehensive guidance on conducting security assessments, defining roles and responsibilities, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. This document should be implemented when an organization needs to formalize its security assessment procedures, respond to regulatory requirements, or enhance its security governance framework. The policy includes detailed procedures for different types of assessments, reporting requirements, and remediation processes, while maintaining alignment with Irish legal requirements and industry best practices.
